What Is Thai Panang

An authentic Thai Panang curry is fried in thick coconut cream as opposed to boiling, providing a thick, creamy, soup-like gravy. It is a type of red Thai curry that is salty and sweet, with a nutty peanut flavor. The name of the curry – Panang/Phanaeng, originates from my hometown, the beautiful island of Penang on the west coast of Malaysia. And in most Thai restaurants, other than Thai Red Curry with chicken, beef is the most famous choice, best suited for a Panang curry.
